FMS: How the RTM MP Telemetry System Set the Standard for Transmission of Encoder Signals

To strengthen and expand our leading position in wire tension measurement and control, as well as wireless data transmission for stranding machines, we follow a clear strategy: we don’t just follow trends – we actively shape them, as long as they fall within our area of expertise.

One such innovation was the RTM MP system – wireless signal transmission designed to replace defective or worn-out slip rings. Originally, the system was developed as a drop-in replacement for older bunchers/twisters. Many of the original manufacturers no longer exist, leaving producers with major challenges when it comes to spare parts supply. They are often faced with a tough choice: scrap and replace a broken machine or accept the high costs of reconditioning slip rings and their required electronics. The alternative? RTM MP – a plug-and-play wireless system for secure transmission of analogue, digital and encoder signals.

In the meantime, the system has also gained popularity among machine builders. Whether for new equipment or repairs across all brands, many now rely on the RTM MP. Its easy integration and quick retrofitting offers significant advantages over vulnerable slip rings.

Originally designed for end users looking to extend the life cycle of their bow-type stranders, the RTM MP has since become standard equipment for OEMs and that is a development few would have anticipated.
